Etymology Origin:
The word "morning" evolved from Old English morgen, which originally referred to both "morning" and "tomorrow" (reflecting the concept of a new day). Over time, the suffix -ing was added to specify the period of the day, distinguishing it from the future-oriented "morrow." The modern spelling stabilized in Middle English, influenced by phonetic shifts and standardization.
